What would a set of fuch alloys look like if you glass bead 100% of them? Pros/Cons?
I know this is an odd question, but I'm looking at 4 fuch alloys and two of them are fully polished and two have the original anodizing on the inserts with polished pedals and lips. The goal to get the four wheels to look a matched set. I may or may not decide to accent the recesses black satin. Looking for options... Thanx |

I'm planning on sandblasting my Panasports soon, then powder coating with a gloss powder. Any tips? I'd prefer to polish the lip as well. Then apply a clear powder coat on everything. Is this doable?
Presently the wheels have some sort of factory coating on the inner spokes that is chipped in places. My goal is to strip all of the old coating off and powdercoat. Also - should I avoid powder coating the seating surface? what about the valve stem seat? I would imagine i don't want to touch the seating surface to the hub. right? Is there any possible damage to a wheel like this by baking at 375F for 20 mins? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks! Here are specs on panasports: *New, virgin aluminum alloy materials used throughout. *Hub centric machining for every application, no universal sleeves *Steel, tapered-face inserted lug holes for secure fixing and self-centering attachment *Heat treated for high strength and durability *The proper balance of designed material location providing a light weight wheel with intense strength Would the steel/aluminium combo cause an issue when curing the powdercoat? I really don't want to compromise the integrity of these wheels, safety first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
